Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album has a Bayesian average rating of 69.5/100, a mean average of 67.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.6.

Somber, but very dull. Clap your hands and say YAWN. (Funny).

Enjoyable listen so far. I’ve been on the journey since their debut and this feels like a progression for the first time. They have underwhelmed thus far considering that the talent is undeniable with Alec Ounsworth.
Fairly standard indie pop but the vocals are not to my taste at all. Very nasal and it's just distracting.

Very mature and powerful version of themselves. They're a fun band and yet this one is more important and complex than anything they've done.
It's the vocals that make or break this album, depending on your perception. They are so dominant, they barely leave any space for the other parts to develop, they demand your full attention. There was some Bono and some Thom Yorke influences among others, though I'm sure there was a much more striking one that I struggle to recall right now. The one part of this record I definitely won't forget is Where They Perform Miracles, it stands head and shoulders above the rest of the album. In general the second half was preferable, but I can't tell if it was actually better or it had to do with getting used to their style. Overall, respectable and enjoyable, though far from anything exciting or revolutionary.
Good album. Only "Dee, Forgiven" and "Hesitation Nation" are mediocre, the rest of the songs are beautiful.
Favorites:
1) Went Looking For Trouble
2) Where They Perform Miracles
3) Innocent Weight
